Indie game developers often struggle with the complexity of modern graphics APIs like Vulkan. Build a minimalistic graphics API that abstracts away the complexity while maintaining performance. Indie developers would pay for easier-to-use tools that still deliver high-quality graphics. Start with basic rendering capabilities and expand based on community feedback. The biggest risk is competing with established APIs that have broader support and documentation.
